Current Focus;

I am currently looking for a position that allows me to gain experience in the field, where the drawings become built reality. Tackling tough problems and finding solutions in real time. Being a liaison between the architects, contractors and the myriad of other consultants and trades to help catalyze the project construction.

DESIGn engineer, IMAGEWALL

Liaison between architects, contractors, and craftsmen throughout the entire research, design, and construction process, from generating shop drawings to ensuring a successful delivery and installation. In this role, communication and the ability to coordinate multiple trades while meeting tight design deadlines is crucial. Other responsibilities include doing takeoffs, creating estimates, preparing bids, and sending proposals to win projects.

Summary

I am a creative problem solver with a love for architectural design and fabrication. I have over seven (?) years of professional experience in the architecture profession, and I am currently looking to step outside of the traditional design/fabrication studio to explore design and construction within an entrepreneurial framework.

DESIGNER II, MULTI USE PROJECTS

Emphasis in collaboration with every piece of the puzzle required for the development of retail, residential and commercial buildings. Contributing to El Dorado's two largest projects they've ever taken on and helping lead the integration of BIM via Revit and Design Computation via Grasshopper.

Introduced design computation into eldo's design language for a large development in Downtown Denver through the generation of highly complex custom brick facades that articulate the color and either the rotation or extrusion of each individual brick through definitions designed in Grasshopper.

Helped in overcoming the challenges of a small firm taking on big projects.

My interests are based on a much more holistic view of design to include how people interface and activate engagement with the world around them. I approach design with passionate rigor to help realize great projects.

I believe the future of design is highly collaborative, open source and focused more on method and process than a single final outcome. It’s about working from 100 possible solutions than the first solution that comes to mind.

I seek open ended opportunities that do not have a defined path or solution and hold the possibility of achieving unexpected greatness where others might only reach for completion.

Over the past couple of years I’ve spent most of my time developing my skills within computational design to quickly iterate through complex facade designs, validate designs with data and automate repetitive tasks.

I’m a designer first, but I thoroughly enjoy engaging with the world through making.

My experience in design computation has provided a foundation to build from and help further my interests in creating new methods for how people interface with the world and the experiences they have when interacting with their physical and digital worlds. 
